Slide Content

Aquaculture growth potential in
the Philippines
WAPI factsheet to facilitate evidence-based policy-
making and sector management in aquaculture
March 2020

Preparation of this factsheet
•This factsheet provides data and information to facilitate the assessment of aquaculture growth potential in the
Philippines.This factsheet relies on official data and statistics readily available to the public. Some important dimensions
such as aquaculture’s contribution to GDP and employment are not evaluated due to the lack of data.
•Analyses in the factsheet are based on official data and statistics published by FAO and other international or national
organizations. The data and statistics, which were the most updated at the time when the factsheet was prepared, may
differ from data and statistics used in other WAPI factsheets because of different data sources or different versions of the
same datasets. They may not be consistent with data and statistics from other sources.
•The term “country” used in this factsheet includes non-sovereign territory. The designations employed and the
presentation of material in this information product do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of
the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) concerning the legal or development status of any
country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.
•Unless noted otherwise, country grouping in this factsheet follows the United Nations M49 standard; under which the
Philippines belongs to South-eastern Asia.
•The preparation of the factsheet has benefited from tables and charts generated by various World Aquaculture
Performance Indicator (WAPI) modules. Most of these data analysis tools are for FAO internal use, yet some of them are
available for test use. Visit the WAPI webpage for more information about WAPI information and knowledge products.
•The factsheet was prepared by Junning Cai, Giulia Galli and Xiaowei Zhou at the FAO Headquarter (Rome) and benefited
from the support from the FAO Philippines (particularly Tamara PalisDuran) and the comments and suggestions
provided by multiple government agencies in the Philippines, including the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquaculture (special
thanks to Eduardo B. Gongona), the Fisheries Statistics Division (special thanks to ReineldaP. Adriano and Jordan John
Arnaez) and the National Economic and Development Authority (special thanks to Ernesto M. Pernia).
•The validity and relevance of the results depend on the quality (in terms of timeliness and accuracy) of the underlying
data and statistics used in the analyses –see some remarks on FAO aquaculture statistics in Slide 3. Errors could also
occur in the analyses despite our efforts to minimize them. Please let us know if you have any concern.

Remarks on Philippines aquaculture statistical data
•The national aquaculture statistics system has been well in place for decades in the country, and the Philippines is among
the 25 countries/territories in Asiathat reported aquaculture production data to FAO in all the five years between 2013
and 2017. With the continuous technical backstopping support from the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources
(BFAR) at both national and sub-national levels, the aquaculture statistics system has been institutionally consolidated
under the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
•To further improve the national data system, a few issues need to be addressed.
•While common names are very helpful for data collection and compilation, a national standard list of produced
species with cross reference to the internationally established ASFIS listneed to be developed.
•The production data of some produced species are collected in aggregation, such as the mixture of groupers with
seabass, the mixture of native catfish with exotic/introduced catfish species and the mixture of Anguilla eels with
Asian swamp eel. To better reflect the sectoral development, there is a need to disaggregate them into smaller species
groups or, if possible, individual species.
•The coverage of national aquaculture statistics scheme is in need of expansion from grow-out production and culture
area (ha) and facilities to include seed production and destined uses (not only for grow-out production in aquaculture
facilities/site, but also in culture-based fisheries production).
•Some significant progress has been achieved in the development of indigenous or local species (such as loach in Ifgao
region), contributing to the livelihood development while conserving local tradition and environment, especially in
some remote areas or communities. Such indigenous/local species should be covered in the compilation of
aquaculture data/information.
•The Philippines is prone to some regularly occurring natural disasters like typhoon. Massive fish kills also occur,
especially in several deep volcanic lakes with large-scale cage culture. It would be desirable for the fisheries and
aquaculture statistics system to monitor the damages and losses caused by natural disasters and other types of
calamity.

Species grouping
In this factsheet, “fish” is used as a general term for convenience. When it is necessary to
define the scope of a species group for a specific quantitative measure, the following
definitions are used:
•Aquatic products = Fish & seafood + Miscellaneous aquatic animal products + Aquatic
plants
•Fish & seafood = Finfish + Shellfish + Miscellaneous aquatic animals.
•Finfish = Marine fishes + Diadromous fishes + Freshwater fishes
•Shellfish = Crustaceans + Molluscs
•Molluscs = Shell molluscs (i.e. molluscs excluding cephalopods) + Cephalopods
4

Highlights (I)
•Geo-location, natural resources, population and income
According to the UN Geoscheme (M49 standard), the Philippines is a country in South-eastern Asia. In
2017, it was the 7
th
largest aquaculture country (in terms of production tonnage) in the world. In 2018,
it was the 13
th
country with the largest population (107 million; 1.4 percent of the world total). The
country’s population is expected to increase to 124 million in 2030 with more than half of the population
living in the urban areas. In 2018, Philippines’ per capita GDP (USD 3 103) was around 30 percent of
the world average. Philippines’ per capita measures of land area, inland water surface area, and
renewable freshwater resources was lower than the world average, yet its per capita measure of coastline
length was higher than the world average.
•Food security, nutrition and health
Philippines’ per capita total (i.e. animal and vegetal) protein intake (59.9 g/day) in 2013 was lower than
the world average (81.2 g/day). In the mid-2010s, the Philippines had higher prevalence of
undernourishment and higher prevalence of severe food insecurity compared to the world, Asia and
South-eastern Asia averages. Philippines’ 69.2 years of life expectancy at birth was lower than the world,
Asia and South-eastern Asia averages, and the life expectancy of its male population (65.9 years) is
lower than that of its female population (72.8 years).
•Contribution of fish to food and nutrition
The share of fish in Philippines’ animal protein intake declined from 48.2 percent in 1993 to 37.5
percent in 2013, which was still more than twice as high as the world average. In 2013, 91.7 percent of
Philippines’ food fish supply came from domestic production, and 86.6 percent of its food fish utilization
went to domestic consumption. The Philippines has been a net food fish exporting country (in terms of
live weight equivalent) during 1993–2013.
5

Highlights (II)
•Domestic fish market (fish consumption)
Total fish consumption in the Philippines increased between 1993 and 2009 (driven by both population
growth and an increase in per capita fish consumption) then declined between 2009 and 2013 (due to
declined per capita fish consumption). Philippines’ 30.1 kg per capita fish consumption in 2013, which
was higher than the world average (19.9 kg) yet lower than the South-eastern Asia average (35.5 kg),
comprised 90 percent of finfish and 10 percent of shellfish. The species composition was similar to
South-eastern Asia yet less balanced than the world pattern.
•Fish trade
Philippines’ fish export exceeded fish import by nearly USD 300 million in 2017, and its fish export price
was higher than its fish import price. In 2017, fish commodities accounted for 1.56 percent of
Philippines’ total export value and 0.58 percent of its total import value.
•Fish export
The 3.97 percent annual growth in Philippines’ fish export value between 2000 and 2017 was lower than the
South-eastern Asia average. The country’s fish export in 2017 (USD 884 million) was composed primarily of 65.9
percent of finfish and 31.9 percent of shellfish, including 46.33 percent of tunas/bonitos/billfishes, 15.84
percent of marine crabs and 13.48 percent of marine fishes not identified.
•Fish import
The 10.24 percent annual growth in Philippines’ fish import value between 2000 and 2017 was higher than the
South-eastern Asia average. The country’s fish import in 2017 (USD 585 million) was composed of 86.4 percent
of finfish (75.2 percent of marine fishes, 5.6 percent of freshwater fishes and 5.6 percent of diadromous fishes)
and 12.8 percent of shellfish (4.7 percent of crustaceans and 8.1 percent of molluscs). The top 3 imported fish
commodities of the Philippines in 2017 were frozen skipjack tuna (23.3 percent), frozen mackerels nei (22.9
percent) and frozen yellowfin tuna nei (14.3 percent).

Highlights (III)
•Total fishery production
Philippines’ total fishery production increased from 238 876 tonnes in 1950 to 5 050 190 tonnes in
2010 with aquaculture growth being the primary driving force since the 1990s; the production declined
to 4 127 777 tonnes in 2017 due primarily to the decline in capture fisheries.
•Capture fisheries production
Philippines’ capture fisheries production declined from 1 920 492 tonnes in 2000 to 1 889 990 tonnes in
2017 (the 4th largest in South-eastern Asia). The country’s capture fisheries was conducted primarily in
marine areas, whereas inland fisheries accounted for only 8.6 of its capture fisheries production in
2017. Marine fishes accounted for 84.9 percent of the country’s capture fisheries production in 2017,
including primarily miscellaneous pelagic fishes (27 percent), herrings/sardines/anchovies (20 percent),
tunas/bonitos/billfishes (20 percent) and miscellaneous coastal fishes (15 percent).
•Aquaculture production
Philippines’ aquaculture production doubled from 1 100 902 tonnes in 2000 to 2 237 787 tonnes in
2017 (the 3
rd
largest in South-eastern Asia and the 7
th
largest in the world); the 4.26 percent annual
growth rate during 2000–2017 was lower than that of South-eastern Asia. The country’s aquaculture
share in total fishery production increased from 36.4 percent in 2000 to 54.2 percent in 2017. Inland
and marine/coastal aquaculture accounted for, respectively, 14.1 percent and 85.9 percent of its
aquaculture production tonnage in 2017, which comprised primarily aquatic plants (63.2 percent),
diadromous fishes (18.4 percent), freshwater fishes (12.9 percent) and crustaceans (3.6 percent).
Milkfish, giant tiger prawn and Nile tilapia were its top 3 aquaculture species by value, accounting for,
respectively, 37 percent, 21 percent and 13 percent of Philippines’ aquaculture production value in
2017.
7

Highlights (IV)
•Outlook
Following its recent trend, aquaculture growth in the Philippines would be insufficient to meet the fish
demand of its growing population from 2017 to 2030 with a demand-supply gap of around half a million
tonnes. The gap would be more than 1 million tonnes if the Philippines would like to increase its per
capita fish consumption to the South-eastern Asia average. As opposed to its 0.79 percent annual
aquaculture growth during 2012-2017, aquaculture in the Philippines would need to grow 7.3 percent
during 2017–2030 in order to generate enough fish supply to satisfy the fish demand growth driven by
both population growth and an increase in its per capita fish demand to the South-eastern Asia average.
Philippines’ share in world aquaculture production 2017 was greater than its share in world land area,
world renewal water resources and world population. Its share in world inland aquaculture production
in 2017 was greater than its share in world inland water surface area, yet its share in world
marine/coastal aquaculture production in 2017 was less than its share in world coastline length.

Philippines (1993–2013):
Total fish consumption in the
Philippines increased between
1993 and 2009 (driven by
both population growth and
an increase in per capita fish
consumption).
The declined total fish
consumption, together with
the continuing growth in
population, resulted in the
decline of per capita fish
consumption from 36.1 kg to
30.1 kg.

Per capita fish consumption (kg/year)
19932013

Philippines (1993 versus
2013):
Per capita fish & seafood
consumption declined from 32.52
kg in 1993 to 30.06 kg in 2013,
caused primarily by the decline in
marine fishes, whereas the
consumption of freshwater &
diadromous fishes increased.
In 2013, finfish accounted for 89.9
percent of fish consumption (63.1
percent from marine fishes and
26.8 percent from freshwater &
diadromous fishes); shellfish
accounted for only 10.1 percent (4
percent from crustaceans, 3.4
percent from shell molluscs and
2.6 percent from cephalopods).

with aquaculture growth being the primary driving force since the 1990s; the production declined to 4 127 777 tonnes
in 2017 due primarily to the decline in capture fisheries.
